In previous videos, I had made several comments about this piece being a sad and emotional piece. While it is indeed true for the original and other arrangement piece (read - Concealed the Conclusion. That arrangement by danmaq really brings out that sorrow feeling), the same can't be said for this instrumental arrangement by IKUTO.
Instead of that sorrow feeling, adventure would be the word that replaces the prior feeling. At least, that is the feeling I get when listening to this piece, and dang, this is by far one of the most engaging arrangement of this song. I kept coming back for more, and still love every bits and crunches of it.
As many have known, SOUTH OF HEAVEN have been known to include vocals in their album, in which only a handful of people (I think?) seemed to enjoy them, myself included. I won't say the vocals are bad, but they are decent in my book. Then again, it all boils down to preference. With vocal tracks, instrumentals on the vocal tracks are also presented.
This album is no different, presenting both vocals and instrumentals on said vocal tracks. Personally, I feel that the vocals in this album are somewhat...unfitting, though not to the extend of rendering it un-listenable. But of course, that is not to say I hate them, I do enjoy the vocals to a great extend. Yet again, it all boils down to a person's preference. The instrumentals by IKUTO on the other hand, are as crunchy as ever.
..... There is more that I wish to speak, but I seem to have forgotten them. Darn you, writer's block.
Thanks for watching / listening.
